I am appalled at what I have just watched on television. No, it wasn’t nudity, swearing, or sophomoric humor. It was real life, but real life is sometimes more unbelievable than a cheesy B movie script. Lawrence O’Donnell, the host of The Last Word, interviewed Conservative,”Christian”, Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona. And in true fashion … More God, Guns, and Evasive Politicans
I am in a bookstore looking for one of my favorite magazines when my eyes fall upon two publications within close proximity to each other. The name of the first is Townhall, the second is called The Nation. Here is where the interesting part, at least for me, comes in. We have been listening over … More Most Dangerous Liberals….
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God.” Jesus I am not going to rehash the tragic events from the past weekend other than to say please pray for Gabrielle Giffords and all the others, for their healing and for their families. I am going to talk about hateful words and … More Peacemakers???
It didn’t take long in the new year for someone to frustrate me with their toxic mix of religion and politics. Case in point. At yesterday’s “Constitutional Reading” during the swearing-in ceremonies, a “birther” (someone who doesn’t believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States, yells out “Except Obama, except Obama!” as Article 2 section 1 … More “…HELP US JESUS!”
The more i think about “church” the more detached i feel. i guess that is not a good thing. but there exists such a dichotomy that i do not know if there ever can be an integration. these are the issues for the average american evangelical church… rabid patriotism, abortion, prayer/bible reading in school, homosexual agenda in general, gay marriage … More day 65…
As i continue on the road…a road that is mostly hidden and not well-defined, i experience moments of despair, flashes of hopeless, and a great deal of loneliness. Tonight i went to the fall concert at my daughters school. It was there that i started to think. The first thought i had came to mind as … More Day 52 on the journey
i have realized that some of what i am questioning and sharing could lead to my being asked to resign for my position of elder in my church. i thought about that today. At first i thought that maybe i need to pull back and not be so vocal. Maybe couch my words in a soothing … More the 49th day
Well after a couple of weeks of illness and life I can finally continue on this quest to find…something. It used to be so easy when I first became a “born again”. Everything was so black and white. Secular music was “the devil”, Hollywood was filled with anti-Christian bigots producing smut and lies, so going … More day 46…the journey continues
So today is Sunday and it is the second week that I have not gone to my church service and I feel a sense of peace over that. Is that wrong? I don’t know, but what I do know is that because I do not have to fake it in front of the others that … More Day 3 of a Journey
Our church is going through a series called The Truth Project. It was produced by Focus on the Family. While most of it has been somewhat interesting and informative, this last week angered me and made me realize that this entire series is just more psuedo-christian propaganda on saving America. The video starts out by looking … More red,white and blue cross
